A monospaced serif design with sturdy slab-like feet and blunt, slightly rounded terminals. Strokes show subtle irregularity and soft edge wobble that reads as inked or mechanically struck, rather than perfectly geometric. Counters are open and shapes are straightforward, with compact curves and occasional teardrop-like joins, producing a steady, even rhythm across the set. Numerals and capitals keep a consistent, square-ish footprint with modest contrast and clear, pragmatic construction.
Works well anywhere a monospaced, typewritten voice is desirable: scripts, captions, technical notes, UI readouts, and vintage-styled editorial pullouts. It also suits labels and packaging that want an analog, stamped feel while maintaining clear character-by-character alignment.
The overall tone feels like practical typewritten copy—direct, a bit rough around the edges, and comfortably familiar. The slight imperfections add warmth and a human, analog character that suggests paperwork, notes, and archival documents rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to evoke mechanical type while staying legible and steady in running text. Its controlled proportions and consistent rhythm prioritize clarity and alignment, while the softened, slightly irregular stroke edges introduce an authentic printed/typed impression.
Spacing is naturally even due to the fixed character width, which emphasizes a grid-like texture in paragraphs. The texture remains dark and consistent, with small variations in stroke edges providing visual interest without becoming distressed.
